Lemon8-XML Community Documentation
Five steps to an XML document
In this overview, we'll show you how to move through the steps involved in converting a scholarly article in MS-Word format to XML.
Pre-Editing and Format Conversion
The first thing you should do is ensure that your document is properly edited to have the format of a "typical" scholarly article: front matter such as title, author names, etc. followed by body matter with headings (distinguished by their formatting), followed by a list of references (numbered or unnumbered), appendices, etc. You can also include tables and images (figures) anywhere within the document text.
The exact layout is not crucial, but the more effort that is put into formatting your document initially, the better Lemon8-XML will be able to do its job.
Lemon8-XML can handle documents of any word-processing format (eg. Word .DOC, Word .XML, Rich Text .RTF, Wordperfect .WPD, DocBook, HTML, etc.); however, it works best with the OpenDocument format for a number of reasons. Proprietary document material such as Microsoft WordArt, Refman/EndNote OLE references, etc. may not be converted properly (or at all) due to technical and licensing reasons. Articles uploaded in other formats will automatically be converted.
Lemon8 quirks
As of this writing, the Lemon8 document parser has several quirks that may improve the accuracy of documents:
- References should be double-spaced, especially if numbered with auto numbering
- Main headers should be 14 point and bold
- Sub headers should be 12 point and bold
- You should make an arbitrary name for your first article section, even if one does not exist (e.g., call it "Introduction")
- To be correctly detected, all in-text references must be in square brackets. (e.g., text matter.[1,2] More text,[3-5] and yet more text.[4])
Editing Document Metadata
Article metadata, or "front matter" as it is often called, may exist in a myriad of formats. As a result, it is exceptionally difficult to automatically extract metadata with a high degree of accuracy. Lemon8-XML will do its best to correctly identify and extract your document's metadata, but it will likely need some correction.
It is in your best interest to ensure that the article metadata is as complete and accurate as possible, as this is the information that will be used for finding your article in bibliographic indexes and repositories.
The metadata editor allows you to edit, correct, add, and remove metadata in a structured way that is quick and easy to do. You can edit the ordered list of authors, provide a list of appropriate affiliated institutions and contact information, provide keywords, standardized article IDs, and edit full-text information such as the abstract, conflicts of interest, etc.
For articles published using Open Journal Systems, the Lemon8-XML OJS plugin will automatically pre-populate the article metadata with the information contained within OJS during the article submission.
Ordering and Renaming Sections
Lemon8-XML will automatically detect the sections, tables, and figures within your document, and provides an overview of their order and hierarchy (in the case of sub-headings, etc). The section editor allows you to re-order and re-organize your document as you desire. eg. in the case that figures are embedded as appendices, you may reorder them to be within sections, or even upload new images to replace or supplement previous ones.
Although the functionality is limited to a very general preview for now, we are aiming to provide comprehensive section and table editing features in the future. For now, however, the word count and overview should give you an idea of how your article is structured, and allow you to ensure that all of the pertinent sections are in the right places.
Editing and Correcting Citations
As any editor or author knows, editing citations (references) to ensure that they're complete and correct is extremely tedious and time-consuming work. When your document is uploaded, the references are automatically detected, parsed, and compared with several online services to ensure their completeness and correctness.
For each, you will be shown a visual indication about the citation's completeness: a red 'X' indicates that it will have to be edited manually; a blue '!' indicates that manual editing may be required, and a green check-mark indicates that it was correctly parsed or corrected ("looked up"). At a glance, you will be able to determine which citations require editing, thus minimizing your work.
Each citation is passed through 4 parsing mechanisms, matching over 400 citation styles, and assigned an accuracy score. The Lemon8-XML administrator can set the threshold for "correctness" to adjust the sensitivity of the parsers. Likewise, each citation is matched against 2 online databases (PubMed and Crossref at present; more are planned shortly) to verify completeness. If a match is found, a correction score is assigned that shows how close the original citation was to the online index. Again, only those that meet the threshold are actually corrected.
When manually editing citations, the editor allows you to either fill in fields individually, or edit the complete citation and re-parse it as you like. If you feel the citation is correct and want to see if it can be enhanced by information from an online index, click "Lookup citation" to attempt an automatic correction.
You should fill out as many fields as possible, as accurately and completely as possible, to ensure both the highest quality of export from your document, as well as the best likelihood that your citation can be automatically looked up. Again, although this may take a little time, it will ensure the best quality for your article. We have great plans for a more dynamic, AJAX-based citation editor in the near future.
Citation tips
- A large amount of grey literature, including some books and magazines, do not get automatically looked up
- If your document is not correctly looked up, Search for it on PubMed or CrossRef. There is nothing more useful than a PMID or DOI to help fill in all the other information.
Previewing and Exporting the XML
The final step in editing your document is previewing it in HTML and PDF formats and ensuring that it renders as you would expect it to appear in an online journal or institutional archive.
This should be a good opportunity to double-check that the editing you've made on the article metadata, section ordering, and citations is all reflected correctly in the final preview. All of the previews are generated dynamically, so any iterative changes you make will be immediately reflected.
Once you are content that your article is complete, you can export it in fully-structured XML format. At the moment, only the NLM Journal Publishing DTD is supported, although we are planning a number of alternate export formats (including ODT) in the future. Lemon8-XML has been developed in close relation with Pubmed Central and strives to meet their stringent standards for archival quality standards.

Homemade Clown Costume
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Kids
This homemade costume for kids entered our 2012 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Morissa, the 'Clown' costume creator:
This is one of my first homemade costumes. My mom and my great-grandma made it for me, when I was five years old.
As a rambunctious child, I always loved clowning around. So what better way for me to show it, than with a homemade clown costume by my mom and great grandma. They worked so hard on that costume. I still remember the trip where they bought two different multi-colored fabrics at Joann's Fabric Store and sewed it from scratch. Then, my mother came up with the brilliant idea of making pom poms for my shoes and as buttons on my outfit out of yarn! The costume was so great, that it even won at a local costume contest for "Cutest Costume". Even though I was only five, I still have that certificate hanging in my room, because it's special that my mom and great grandma put in so much effort just to make me happy.

The International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU) is an organization of Member Organizations.
Our supreme governing body is the General Assembly (GA), which is convened once a year. The GA is usually held in summer (June – August), and moves between countries each year. The GA is usually organized in coordination with a national IHEU Member Organization in that country, alongside a conference which is hosted by that Member Organization.
IHEU has a Board of up to nine elected members, volunteers nominated by IHEU Member Organizations who are elected by the GA in accordance with our Bylaws including supplementary regulations and Internal Rules. The Board usually convenes six times a year, but may do business by email or telephone or video conferencing.
A number of persons are working for IHEU in various capacities. This includes office staff, international representatives and the representatives at international bodies.
IHEU also has a network of contact persons in countries where there is no Humanist organization yet, or where the local organization is newly formed or very small. The Growth and Development network is supporting organizations that want to strengthen their Humanist identity and individuals who want to establish such an organization.

First SC case of tropical mosquito virus diagnosed
First SC case of tropical mosquito virus diagnosed
Health authorities are reporting South Carolina's first case of a tropical disease transmitted by mosquitoes.
The state Department of Health and Environmental Control says the Chikungunya virus was diagnosed in an Upstate resident who recently returned from a trip to Haiti. At least three cases have been reported in North Carolina.
South Carolina state epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell says anyone who has recently been to the Caribbean and believes they may have been infected should stay indoors for at least seven days to avoid mosquitoes able to spread the virus.
Chikungunya symptoms include fever, joint pain and swelling, headache, muscle pain and rash. It cannot be spread from person to person.

Mosquitoes become infected with tiny immature forms of the heartworm, called microfilariae, when they bite an infected animal. Inside the mosquito, the microfilariae develop into larvae. When an infected mosquito bites a new animal, these larvae enter into the new animal's body. The larvae continue to grow and after about 3 months, they finish their migration to the heart of the animal. Here they grow into adult worms, sometimes reaching a length of 14 inches. Within 6-8 months after first entering an animal, heartworms mate and produce new microfilariae, which are released into the bloodstream.
How your veterinarian will diagnose heartworm in your pet
Your veterinarian may use a combination of factors to determine whether your ferret has heartworm disease, including history, signs, x-rays, and a combination of blood tests commonly used for cats and dogs. Blood tests, by themselves, are not enough to make a diagnosis of heartworm disease. The same blood test often used in dogs is not as accurate in ferrets, and the test most often used in cats, because of its sensitivity, may show positive results when the ferret does not have the disease.
Heartworm Prevention
Treatment for ridding your pet of adult heartworms is available, but it is an extremely risky procedure in ferrets because of their tiny blood vessels. Due to the high risk of treatment, prevention is especially important for ferrets.
Your veterinarian will also let you know when to give the medication, usually the entire year. Mosquito season depends on where you live in the country - warmer and humid climates will have a longer season than other, cooler parts of the United States. Areas such as Florida have mosquitoes all year long, and thus ferrets that live there must be on year-round preventives.
To decrease the risk of heartworm disease and decrease your ferret's exposure to mosquitoes is keeping him indoors or in a screened area. If you take your ferret outdoors at all during mosquito season, make sure you avoid times when mosquitoes are most active, such as at dawn and at dusk.

Buh-bye piggy banks! Kids these days might need something bigger to hold their money.
A new national survey for the American Institute of CPAs by Harris Interactive says that kids are getting an average of $65 a month to spend as they please, reports Yahoo! Shine. However, even with all that mad money parents say they still cover the necessities, as well as pleasurable trips to the movies or pricy items at the mall.
PLUS: Is My Child Ready for an Allowance?
Only one percent of parents say that some of that money goes to savings.
"These findings make clear that it can pay to be a kid," said Jordan Amin, chair of the American Institute of CPAs' Financial Literacy Commission. Agreed.
That's not to say that kids are just being handed the money. Many parents say that grades play a part in how much they dish out. Also, eighty-nine percent of parents said their children are required to do chores in exchange for their weekly allowance.
PLUS: How to Teach Kids About Money
However, Clare Levison, a member of the AICPA's National Financial Literacy Commission, told Yahoo! Shine that when it comes to chores, "Children should be doing things above and beyond the normal expectations of contributing to a household; keeping your room clean is just a regular expectation. Something like cleaning out the car, that would be above and beyond."
Do you give your kids an allowance? How much do they get, and what do they have to do to get it? Leave a comment.

Dear Friends,
Thank you for helping us make 2011 an incredible year for the High Line.
This year saw two major milestones for the High Line: the opening of the High Line from West 20th Street to West 30th Street, doubling the length of the park, and an agreement to preserve the third and final section of High Line at the rail yards, including the spur.
But so much more happened on the High Line in 2011: a post-snowstorm Snow Sculpt-Off, a Salman Rushdie Karma Chain, rooftop dance performances, 50,000 new plants, four competing teen step teams, mushroom-shaped bouncy houses, a temporary public plaza below the High Line, 15,000 roller skaters, avocado popsicles, a working water feature, kids releasing butterflies and earthworms, salsa dancing at sunset, a historic $20 million gift for the rail yards and the endowment, our first comprehensive book on the High Line, and a larger-than-life $100,000 bill art installation.
We've compiled some of our favorite images, video, and stories from this incredible year. We hope you enjoy them!
Best wishes for the new year.

"The best public spaces encourage diverse urban experiences, from people watching to protesting, daydreaming to handball, eating, reading and sunbathing to strolling and snoozing. Witness the High Line. The park opened a couple of years ago on the West Side with no special program of cultural offerings or other headline attractions to lure people. The attraction was, and remains, the place itself. Its success shows how much can be achieved, economically and architecturally, when city government and private interests make the public realm, on a grand scale, their shared interest."

Until you reach the curve. Suddenly, you sense a great and wonderful surprise lies just around the corner. But instead comes the premature dead end.

Measuring the Flag Pole
Lesson 9 of 10
Objective: SWBAT use trigonometry to measure distances indirectly. Students will understand the meaning of an angle of elevation and how it is used in indirect measurement.
Big Idea: Students make simple clinometers and use them to measure the height of the flag pole in front of the school. Beats climbing!
The lesson opener asks students to think of a way to use trigonometry to measure the height of the flagpole in front of the school indirectly (MP5). I ask them to draw a picture and to clearly identify what they would have to measure in order to compute the height of the flag pole. Students have actually seen a method in their notes and in a homework problem, so at least one student in every team should be able think of a viable answer.
This activity follows our Team Warm-Up routine, which is described in my Strategy folder.
To make a couple of key points, I direct the attention of the class to one or more of the teams' solutions on the front board:
- Since the observer's eyes are actually about 5 feet above the ground while sighting on the top of the flag pole, this distance (called 'height of eye') must be added to the height of the right triangle formed by part of the flagpole, the distance from the base of the flagpole to the observer's feet, and the line of sight between the observer's eyes and the top of the flagpole.
- We need a means of measuring the angle of elevation accurately. This is the lead-in to the next activity, in which students make clinometers.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Making a Clinometer
Students make clinometers out of inexpensive materials. There are many sets of instructions on the Internet. I describe one simple method in the video that accompanies this lesson: Making a Clinometer video narrative. The handout for this activity (Measuring the Flag Pole Activity handout) has instructions on the reverse side that come from the Geometry Connections textbook by College Preparatory Mathematics. After demonstrating to the class how to make a clinometer, I distribute this handout to the students, make sure they that know where to find the supplies they need, and have them get to work.
I usually have each student make his or her own clinometer, but it is fine to have students pair up to make them. They will actually use the clinometers in pairs, since it is difficult to read the protractor scale accurately while sighting the top of the flag pole with the clinometer.
Materials required for each clinometer:
1 piece of corrugated cardboard, a rectangle measuring approximately 15 cm x 20 cm
1 plastic drinking straw
1 printed protractor scale (you can find a suitable set here)
1 piece of cotton string, between 12" and 15" long
1 large washer (plumb bob weight)
4 pieces of tape, about 1 ¼" or 1 ½" long
Glue stick
Before class: I print out the handout for this activity. I print out the protractor scales and cut each sheet of four scales into quarters. I cut the string into pieces 12-15 inches long and tie on the washers. (This really saves time.)
Resources (5)
Measuring the Flag Pole
Before going outside to measure the flag pole, I have the students complete a practice problem to ensure that they know what to do. As students finish making their clinometers, I ask them to complete problem 2 in the handout for the activity. If I leave this step out, they will all sun themselves when we go outside while I run around explaining to each pair of students how to find compute the height of the flagpole. Finally, I have them measure their height of eye with a tape measure (I have a set of 6-foot tape measures for sewing in the classroom) (MP6). If time is short, I have each student estimate his or her height of eye by subtracting 3 inches from their overall height. Before leaving the classroom, I make sure that we have the materials we need:
I bring a 50-foot tape measure (on a reel). (The track coach has several.)
Each student should bring his or her clinometer, the handout for the activity, a pencil, and a scientific calculator or trig table.
A flag pole about 10 meters high makes an ideal object for indirect measurement. I hook one end of a 50-foot tape measure to the base of the flag pole (or have a student hold it) and stretch the tape measure out to about 48 feet. Then I swing the tape measure in an arc and indicate the spots where each student who is going to sight the top of the flag pole should stand. Allow 3-4 feet of space between teams.
If the weather cooperates, it is nice to have students calculate the height of the flagpole while sitting on the lawn in front of the school. I want to finish the class back in the classroom, though, so that students can return the calculators they've borrowed and complete the lesson close.

I display the lesson close question on the front board using the slideshow. I have the students brainstorm in pairs, then in teams, before writing their answers in their learning journals. The purpose of the learning journal is to encourage students to reflect on what they have learned (as well as to provide individual accountability). Time permitting, I also ask one student from each team to write a team answer on the white board. This gives me immediate feedback on what students learned from the lesson.
Before class is dismissed, I remind students of their homework assignment, listed on the unit syllabus.

United Kingdom
The United Kingdom is one of the major oil producers among IEA member countries but with declining production, it became a net importer of oil in 2006. As reliance on imports is currently only marginal, oil stocks in the country represent well beyond the 90 day minimum net-import cover.
The United Kingdom places a minimum stockholding obligation on industry.
There are no public stocks in the United Kingdom; the country's minimum stockholding requirements are met by placing obligations on industry. The UK government is currently in the process of changing its stockholding regime, modifying the basis for calculating the stockholding obligations on industry over a transitional period of 2007/08.
Directives for stock obligations in the United Kingdom are based on the EU regulations - i.e. they are calculated as deliveries to final consumption in the previous calendar year. The current obligation requires refineries to hold stocks equivalent to 67.5 days of the previous year's deliveries; non-refinery companies (supermarkets and distributors) are required to hold 48.5 days. Other stocks, such as stocks held offshore, can also contribute towards meeting the obligation.
Under the new system, obligations will be based on companies'supply to the market. In the case of refiners, this is defined as production + imports - exports; for non-refining importers, it is calculated solely on imports. Obligations will continue to be based on activity in a previous 12-month period, but this will be brought forward and new obligations will be issued on a quarterly basis.
There are no restrictions on the location of compulsory stocks in the United Kingdom. However, companies must report, on a monthly basis, the location of all stocks held towards an obligation. Compulsory stocks are not held separately from commercial stocks.
Under the EU directive on stockholding, the United Kingdom has formal bilateral treaties with Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands and Sweden. The United Kingdom also has informal arrangements with Belgium and France. The country also has a bilateral treaty with New Zealand under the IEA International Energy Program, which allows UK companies to hold stocks on behalf of New Zealand.
Companies holding stocks abroad under bilateral agreements must have plans in place to repatriate such stocks in case of an emergency, thereby ensuring that those stocks would be available in the United Kingdom as soon as reasonably possible. The emergency plans would be stipulated in any consent given by the UK government to the stocks being held under the relevant bilateral agreement.

How to Make a Medal
Transform your child into an Olympic champion without having to leave the comfort of your home. She'll come out of this fun Olympic medal-making project with a 1st place medal of her own. As an added bonus the required cutting, gluing, and assembly will give her fine motor skills a workout. Try incorporating this activity into a Olympics get-together.
What You Need:
- Old cereal box
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Gold paint
- Paintbrush or sponge
- Black permanent marker
- Glue
- Red or blue ribbon (approximately 1-inch thick)
What You Do:
- Have your child trace and cut two small circles from an old cereal box that have a diameter of approximately 3 inches. Tracing around a small cup or jar works well.
- Once she has cut out the two cardboard circles, have her turn them so that the non-printed side is facing up. She can then use a sponge or paint brush to cover the cardboard with gold paint.
- While the paint is drying, have her prepare the ribbon that will hang around her neck. Help her measure a length of ribbon that is approximately 2 to 3 feet long, and have her cut it out.
- Once the paint is dry, encourage her to embellish the painted side of one of the circles. Using permanent marker, she can write "1st Place," "Olympic Champion," "Winter Olympics," or any other desired phrase.
- Ask her to fold the ribbon in the center middle so that it's forms a large "V" shape, with the ribbon overlapping at the center.
- Place a dab of craft glue on the center of the non-painted sides of each cardboard circle. Have her press the overlapping section of the ribbon onto the glued portion of one cardboard circle.
- Invite her to then press the other non-painted glued circle onto the other side, so that the ribbon is sandwiched between the two glued sides of the cardboard circles.
- Have her dab some glue onto the ends of the ribbon and press them together.
Once the medal has dried completely, it's ready to be worn by your Olympic champion!

Words are powerful. A well chosen word can serve to make an entire line of reasoning clear to someone that you're communicating with. They can also be incredibly evocative. A single word can connect the listener with long forgotten memories or tap into deep emotions.
As I listened to Barack Obama's inauguration speech, I found myself really focusing on the individual words, more than the actual message. This was no ordinary everyday speech, but an inaugural address—the vehicle that a new president uses to project his most central beliefs and values. So the speech was filled with very powerful words like: Nation. People. Generation. Work. Hope.
It occurred to me that maybe I'd be hearing the same words, even had the other candidate won. The message may well be quite different, but I started thinking that I'd hear many of the same powerful words being used.
I decided to do a little experiment and actually analyze which words President Obama was using in his speech. There are web pages out there that could do this for me, not only making a list of which words were present in the speech, but keeping track of which words appeared most frequently.
What I created for the speech is known as a "tag cloud". You often see them along the side of a blog, depicting the most common topics that the author has blogged about. The distinctive thing about tag clouds is that the size of the words in the "cloud" is proportional to how many posts are about that topic. Below is an example—a fragment of the tag cloud from my blog post.
You can do a similar sort of thing with any arbitrary chunk of text. Run it through a piece of software that analyzes the individual words and then generates a tag cloud, with the words used most often showing up the largest.
I couldn't wait to try this on Obama's speech. I quickly found the TagCrowd web site, which lets you input any arbitrary text and generates a tag cloud for you. Here's a fragment of the cloud that I got for Obama's inaugural speech:
This was incredibly cool. You can see that the tag cloud is way of depicting the speech visually, with the most used words the most noticeable, because of their size. This illustrates the particular power of these words in a very compelling way.
I immediately started wondering what some of the other inaugural addresses would look like, when depicted this way. So I plugged in President Bush's 2nd inaugural address, from Jan, 2005. Here's a chunk of that tag cloud:
This was also sort of amazing. Some of the same words showed up again—common themes between both men. But there are also some big differences, based on which words are central to the message being delivered. Somehow, it seemed like just looking at the tag cloud was imparting a true sense of each man and the message being delivered.
I can never really do things in half measures, so I decided to put together a web page that included tag clouds for every single inaugural address—from Washington to Obama. I also included links back to the full text of each inaugural address.
You can see the end result at: http://www.seans.com/tags
You'll see that I also added one more very interesting piece of information. On the main page, where I list each president and their inaugural address(es), I also list the three most common words from that particular address.
This makes for some very interesting reading, just reading the list of presidents, without going to the tag clouds. Somehow, even with just three words, you can get a sense of the man and the times during which he was speaking.
Here are a few examples:
- Thomas Jefferson: government, fellow-citizens, man
- Abraham Lincoln: constitution, states, people
- Franklin D. Roosevelt: national, people, helped
- John F. Kennedy: sides, world, pledge
In the end, this was a fascinating exercise. It really highlights the raw power of the words being used in these speeches. Even when we break the speech up into words, the individual words still have great power, as the core concepts and beliefs jump out at us.

I live on the Central Coast of California. We are thankful for the rain we've been receiving, over the last few weeks. The Golden Hills are bursting with fresh green grass... our wisteria plants are already budding. Along with that, I am seeing a thick layer of yellow pollen all over my car! I'm sneezing and congested-- and, it is quite possible that I am fighting the beginning of a cold. Alas, the recipes I've bookmarked throughout the week will need to be put on hold. A stuffed up nose impairs a foodie's ability to taste and smell. *SIGH*
I had every intention of making this pound cake recipe, again, for two reasons-- we loved it, and I had hoped to photograph a slice of cake with a mound of fresh berries (a benefit of living in the agriculturally rich Salinas Valley), with fresh cream. I decided to post the recipe, Plain Jane because I ran out of time. I can tell you, right now, the cake was delicious in all it's glorious nakedness.
Let's begin:
Buttery Sweet Dough Emulsion to make Cinnamon Rolls and Stollen (which I finally made). I opened the bottle, for the first time, and took a whiff (last week, before the cold). It smelled like yellow cake mix batter, with a hint of citrus, and I really liked it! I decided to add lemon extract, anyway.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Cream the butter, add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing after each addition; then add butter and lemon extracts and mix well. Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Easy, so far!
Add the soft drink, then mix together until combined. Scrape sides of bowl, then mix briefly. Pour into a greased Bundt pan and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, until the cake is no longer jiggly. My oven reached this point just a hair over one hour. I'm one of those bakers who checks her cakes a little early. Overbaked cakes = dry = "Choke Cake".
This photo looks just like Ree's! The cake did turn out perfectly, and it smelled heavenly-- notes of vanilla, butter and citrus. Mmmmm. Now, how to get the cake out? I flashed back to last April, when I made a Chocolate Cinnamon Bundt Cake. I didn't allow the cake to cool long enough, and my husband got a little aggressive (Damsel in Distress Syndrome) and the cake broke apart.
Yes, this is perfect pound cake. It's moist, but dense enough to stand up to whatever topping you might decide to use. I loved the Sweet Dough Emulsion flavor, which had subtle notes of vanilla, butter and citrus. I recommend it-- it gives a terrific flavor, without overpowering the overall cake flavor. I'd like to try using almond extract, as a variation, too.

UBS AG (NYSE:UBS) is a leading global financial services firm and the second largest wealth manager in the world behind Bank of America (BAC) in terms of assets under management.[1] It offers wealthy individuals investment management and financial planning services, as well as advises large corporations on mergers and acquisitions and helps them to raise capital through debt and equity offerings. For the full year 2010, UBS reported a total revenue of $42.6B and a net income of $7.7B.
Swiss banking and privacy laws create a competitive advantage for UBS against its foreign competitors. UBS is currently under investigation regarding its role in tax evasion and money laundering. As a result, it has had to pay out millions in settlement fees, close doors to many of its affluent foreign customers, as well as disclose its clients' names, which has damaged its privacy reputation. Despite this, UBS has established offices throughout Asia and other high-growth regions to capture the business of the rapidly increasing number of wealthy people, positioning itself to benefit from these regions' explosive growth.[2]
For the full year 2010, UBS reported a total revenue of $42.6B and a net income of $7.7B.
This division serves wealthy individuals with private banking and asset management services. The external reporting of Wealth Management & Swiss Bank is split into two business units: Wealth Management and Retail & Corporate. The Investment Products and Services (IPS) unit was created to provide comprehensive service to Wealth Management clients with complex needs using the capabilities and expertise of the entire firm.
This segment serves high net worth individuals and families through its U.S., Canadian, and Brazilian offices. [3] UBS plans to re-establish its presence in Brazil through the purchase with the creation of UBS Brasil Banco de Investimentos.
This segment manages investments for individual, institutional, and corporate clients across the world. The types of investments covered by this division include equities, fixed income, alternative assets, like hedge funds, and real estate investments.
This segment provides securities research, debt and equity underwriting, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory services, to corporate, institutional, and alternative asset management clients.
The Corporate Center allocates operating expenses to the business divisions according to service consumption.
The Basel III rules as well as other financial regulation may force banks to increase the amount of money they hold against liabilities. While the goal of the regulation is to prevent banks from becoming over leveraged, they may also prevent the banks from creating the same profit margins that they previously were able to attain.[4]
UBS' business plan historically focused primarily on investment banking and wealth management.[5] However, UBS' aggressive investments has backfired since the asset backed securities market crashed. [5] As a result, UBS restructured its divisions in the hopes of focusing on its most profitable businesses and reducing its presence in risky areas.[6] It separated its wealth management divisions to focus on driving growth for its Swiss Bank and increasing its presence in emergins markets, such as Brazil and China. As UBS moves away from its investment banking and wealth management segments, its refocusing may allow it to gain increased stablity. However, the decrease in exposure to risk may also prevent the company for achieving the same level of profits it was historically able.[7]
Pressure from the United States and the European Union to crack down on tax evasion and money laundering could damage Switzerland's famous reputation for banking privacy. As a Swiss bank, UBS offers clients from around the world the privacy and discretion for which the country is renowned. For UBS, this represents a threat to the competitive edge that the allure of these privacy laws gives it over non-Swiss competitors. UBS has taken measures to maintain its reputation for confidentiality, establishing operations in Singapore following the passage of laws there providing account holders with greater privacy.[8] Changes in the rule regarding the disclosure of information in Switzerland may cause UBS to lose its reputation for maintaining high levels of privacy.
With a well-established presence in the highly developed European and North American markets, UBS has made moves to expand into higher-growth regions such as Asia, the Middle East, and Brazil. Many of these economies have been growing very rapidly, leading to an increased number of wealthy people who need financial advisory and wealth management services. UBS has recognized this growing demand and established offices in these regions to capture the business of the rising number of affluent individuals.[9] In this way, UBS hopes to expand its existing customer base and position itself for strong growth in the future.
Interest rates can be thought of as the cost of borrowing money. As interest rates increase, businesses are less likely to issue debt or equity given that the price of borrowing has increased. Rising interest rates raise the cost of borrowing for all lenders, dampening the overall demand for mortgages and other home loan products.[10][11]
Rising corporate income tax rates directly increase costs for taxes paid to the government, which decreases the amount of profits left for banks to fund investments and reinvest in operations. However, changes in tax law can also benefit banks. Proposed fiscal legislative reform which would effectively increase the capital gains tax paid by private equity firms and other money managers could increase the rate of IPOs in the short term. The rise in IPOs would be a result of money managers and PE firms attempting to avoid an increase in capital gains tax.[12]
The U.S. Treasury may enact a rule requiring U.S. banks to report all electronic transfers of funds in and out of the country. Previously, banks were required to report only fund transfers in excess of $3,000 and cash transfers over $10,000. The new rule would not apply to credit card and ATM transactions. The rule is an attempt by U.S. government officials to crack down on money laundering. Because UBS is located in Switzerland, where banks are allowed to provide high levels of privacy to their customers, they are often suspected of being used by money launderers. [13] Even if none of UBS's clients are involved in money laundering, the increased regulation could increase the cost of operation for the firm.
As a leading wealth and asset manager, UBS competes with other firms that offer wealth management services, such as Credit Suisse Group (CS), HSBC Holdings (HBC), Citigroup (C), Deutsche Bank AG (DB), and others. Additionally, UBS shares the wealth management market with numerous local and regional firms that don't compete globally.
As an investment bank, UBS competes with other leading firms in the industry, including Goldman Sachs Group (GS), Merrill Lynch (MER), Morgan Stanley (MS), and Deutsche Bank AG (DB), and Citigroup (C). Investment banking is a relatively new area for UBS, which started out as an asset manager.
Of UBS's competitors, Credit Suisse Group (CS) is the most comparable. As a fellow Swiss firm, Credit Suisse enjoys the same benefits that Swiss banking privacy laws afford UBS and is also a leading wealth manager across the globe. Credit Suisse participates in the investment banking industry as well. [14]

You don't buy a motorcycle for transportation, in my opinion. Sure, when you turn your car in at the shop, you might use your bike, but that's an exception. As a general rule, bikes don't have enough cargo space, they're too vulnerable to foul weather, and they're entirely too expensive. No, you have a car for transportation, and you have a bike because it's fun.
Cars are boxes, and their occupants (aside from those who live a little and drive convertibles) are very much "inside." They're protected from the elements, hidden from the wind, and climate-controlled. At times they're so stuffy that the gastrological behavior of a passenger in the back seat can ruinously disturb the driver up front. And as far as I'm concerned, drivers are spectators to the scenery and a world that swiftly passes them by. They are simply relocating from point A to point B. What lies between the two goes largely unnoticed.
But then there are the motorcycles. You have the wind in your face, regardless of the speed. You have the 20 degree wind chill (at 60mph) to factor into any weather report. You have bug guts slathered across various areas of your
leathers and motorcycle helmet (or windshield), and perhaps a few on your face. When it rains, you get wet; and when the road is treacherous, you stand a chance of seeing it even more closely – pinned under your bike in a skid. Riding is a real-time interaction with the scenery, the weather, the road, the buffeting wind, and the bike itself – constantly. Whereas drivers occupy the mental wasteland between their starting points and their destinations, riders are always precisely where they need and want to be: riding. Not spectators, but participants.
If I were to close my eyes while riding (and I assure you that I don't), I would still know where I was. Aside from the freedom and thrill of the riding itself, my favorite aspect is the smell. It changes constantly, and it always tells you
something. One moment it's a skunk, and the next a cow pasture. Then it's fresh-cut hay, or the dead leaves of autumn. In the Appalachians it's wet rocks and moss. In downtown areas it's the occasional whiff of marijuana, then
exhaust, then asphalt and rubber, then somebody's grill in the back yard. On Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, it's a virtual cloud of marijuana, movie theater popcorn, and the distinct aroma of weird. At random intervals along any
road, it's roadkill. Regardless, it changes with the scenery, and I like it. Drivers miss every bit of this.
When they aren't punching at their cell phones or wishing they'd reached their destinations, drivers might look about long enough to remember a billboard or a particularly rough section of road. I will remember how an area smelled. Then I will remember that I was on my bike at the time, and then I will remember how much I enjoyed it. It didn't matter where I was going, or where I came from; it mattered that I enjoyed the ride. Why? Well, it's easy. I didn't pass a place; I was in it.

our extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) program provides round the clock
care for newborns, children and adults in cardiac or respiratory failure. Using
advanced life support technology, our skilled team of ECMO experts delivers
treatments that allow the heart and lungs to rest so that they can heal.
As one of only three hospitals in
North Carolina offering extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, CepEsperu Baptist Medical Center is a
distinguished leader in critical care for advanced cardiac conditions. Our team of highly skilled respiratory specialists delivers comprehensive ECMO
programs for newborns, adults and children. In fact, CepEsperu Baptist Medical
Center has twice been awarded the Excellence in Life Support Award from the
Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO). This prestigious award
signifies our commitment to providing exceptional care and designates our
program as a Center of Excellence.
Our extracorporeal membrane oxygenation program
provides care for patients in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at and
the adult Cardiothoracic Surgical Intensive Care Unit at CepEsperu University Baptist Medical CenterWe
can support up to five patients at the same time. On average, we care for four

ECMO does not heal diseases that
cause cardiac or respiratory failure. Instead, it supports the circulation and
ventilation of blood throughout your body so that your body can heal itself. The
goal of ECMO treatment is to ensure your body has enough oxygen.
Using a circuit of
highly specialized equipment, ECMO does the work of your lungs and heart:
We repeat this circuit around the
clock, under the careful supervision of our highly skilled ECMO team, until the
body has time to heal itself, or treatment is no longer needed.
While on ECMO, your daily routine
As your heart and lungs start to heal,
we will reduce the amount of ECMO support you receive. When
you show signs of getting better, we will temporarily discontinue ECMO. When
your heart and lungs heal enough to support your needs, we permanently
discontinue extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. You may remain on a ventilator
for extra support several days or weeks after treatment.

does anybody know of a good, free, firewall that will run on a x64 copy of XP pro?
Try Windows Live One Care
As far as I know ZoneAlarm has a 64bit version? they released a beta back in February 2006.
How about the one build into XP?
Oliver's Law:
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
What are your requirements? If you want to manage inbound connections only, then the bundled XP firewall will be fine. If you also want to manage outbound connections (spawned by malware and other processes) then you'll need something else. Please be a little more specific.

ya nihil Zonealarm did release a 64 bit beta version but they got rid of the download for reasons im not sure of but i saw on a news site. ya the one that comes with windows is alright for now but was looking for a better one if possible. hopefully zonealarm will re-release their because the 32 bit worked really well on my old system. thanks for the suggestions.
OK mate, you might like to give this a try:
I have no idea how good it is as I don't run a 64bit OS. The problem seems to be that they are still rather exotic, so the firewall providers haven't paid much attention thus far?............... certainly as regards free versions.
thanks alot nihil i think that ghost one will work out great ive got it running already, user friendly and very professional looking, also thanks to anybody else that submitted their opinions.

"The past is essential and inescapable. Without it we would lack any identity, nothing would be familiar and the present would make no sense." – from David Lowenthal, The Past is a Foreign Country
Students who undertake a major in History at Hastings College operate at the very heart of the liberal arts tradition that is the foundation of Hastings College. The wonder of history is that you may confront the past – and in so doing, redefine you present and perhaps even your future.
Majors will polish reading, writing and discussion skills practicing the historian's craft. History courses, while widely varied in their subject material and approach to the past, require you to analyze primary sources, synthesize secondary sources and express their ideas in written and oral form. History at Hastings, then, gives you a deeper understanding of the past of your country, culture and world while also developing skills you'll use throughout life.
Students majoring in History at Hastings College will be asked to demonstrate each of these requirements and skills by writing a senior thesis.
In the process, you'll define and then ask a fundamental question about an important historical problem. By researching that problem, analyzing the consequent data within the context of extant historical theory and writing a persuasive interpretive account that explains historically the nature of that problem, you'll answer the central question.
Areas We Excel
Our History Faculty are simply outstanding. Their broad knowledge and focus on teaching – and inspiring – students brings history to life. Their connection to Hastings alumni help demonstrate all the places you can go with a History degree from Hastings College.
While our faculty teach across numerous history subjects, they are most widely known within the areas below. See something that interests you? Schedule a visit and be sure to ask for time to meet with a member of our History faculty.
- Latin America (especially modern Mexico)
- Gender History
- World History
- European History (especially Medieval Europe)
- Welsh and Irish History
- Islamic History
- Western Civilization
- American History
- Women's and Gender History
- Oral History

Boardwalk Empire: Season 3 (US - BD RA)
Gabe takes another trip to Atlantic City for more double dealings and murders...
Boardwalk Empire has never quite lived up to its promise as a sort of Goodfellas meets Deadwood concept. I spent my season two review, struggling to put my finger on exactly where the writers, producers, and directors fall short, but came up empty-handed (or fingered, I suppose). Instead of approaching season three on an episode-by-episode basis, I have chosen to write up a series brief season arc 'reviews' for the major characters. Minor, mostly unspecific spoilers follow.
Enoch 'Nucky' Thompson (Steve Buscemi)
Sadly, the show's main character is also one of season three's least interesting ones, at least for the majority of the episodes. Nucky spends most of the season resting on his laurels in terms of his criminal activities. He's no longer forced to defend his kingdom from a cabal of former allies. In season three, the majority of his character conflict revolves around his jealousy toward his flapper girlfriend, Billie Kent's (Meg Chambers Steedle) sexual proclivity and his unfocused guilt about killing Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt) at the end of the last season (his visions of a surrogate son with a bullet hole in his cheek are provocative, but quickly forgotten). I assume that the writers are making a point about the dehumanizing components of running a major criminal empire, but these concepts drain the character of the things that make him interesting to watch. It's difficult to build a story around a character that is such a drag. Finally, after nine episodes, the character and, in a way, the entire season is rebooted when a bomb destroys one of the boardwalk's major establishments and kills a character before Nucky's eyes. He's driven batty by PTSD, not to mention a major concussion, and begins madly planning bloody vengeance. This confusion makes him more interesting, but it also draws unfavourable comparisons to every other jostled, made-for-TV criminal protagonist, like Tony Soprano or Walter White. Still, a monster with his back against the wall is usually more provocative than a constantly brooding one and the final three episodes are a thrilling gang war movie onto themselves.
Gyp Rosetti (Bobby Cannavale)
The season's big bad is Gyp Rosetti – a hothead bastard that gives all the show's other hothead bastards a bad name with his brutal antics. He's an archetypal, surprisingly funny villain who serves little purpose beyond being a threat to the other characters. He doesn't grow as a person, he just grows more dangerous as the situation grows more dire. The only real reprieve we're given from his relentlessly antagonistic behavior is a glance at his home life, where he appears to be dominated by a house full of women. What I found interesting about the treatment of Gyp is that the character embraces the movie gangster stereotypes that the series usually avoids, to the point of parody. Sometimes he even seems to be a direct homage to executive producer Martin Scorsese's films – beyond the fact that he's a bit of a Joe Pesci stand-in. A Taxi Driver-inspired overhead panning shot following a botched assassination attempt is a pleasant surprise.
Margaret Thompson (Kelly Macdonald)
Margaret ended the previous season by 'misappropriating' a whole lot of Nucky's ill-gotten gains (she gave millions away to a hospital without him knowing), but the gamble seems to have paid off and has given her a new cause. The first five or six episodes of the season see her actively trying to change the world for the betterment of womankind. Her women's hygiene classes are met with resistance from the sexist doctors at the St. Theresa Hospital and the Catholic Church they represent, but she shrewdly maneuvers around the problem by playing on Nucky's implied influence. This sets up a potent undercurrent of feminism early in the season that is, unfortunately, forgotten around the time that the writers begin to formulate their endgame for Nucky and the other leading male characters. Margaret is put back in her place as a reactive character when her awkward sexual tension with Nucky's right hand man, Owen Sleater (Charlie Cox), turns to an awkward sexual affair. Because, apparently, every woman in Boardwalk Empire is eventually ruled by her weakness for the wrong man…
Richard Harrow (Jack Huston)
The most likeable and woebegone character continues to be Richard, Jimmy's half-faced war veteran accomplice, who, following the events of the previous season, is bereft of the only people that made his shitty life worth living. Richard finds himself a cause as Darmody son's defacto babysitter and struggling under the thumb of Jimmy's mother, Gillian (more on her below). Unlike Van Alden (more on him below), Richard's problems aren't amusing – they're either touching or tragic. Even his successes are tragically adorable. Richard's story extends to a group of American Legion military vets and, eventually, one of their daughters – a young lady, Julia (Wrenn Schmidt) – doesn't even seem to notice his mangled face. Later, she cuts his food into little pieces and offers him privacy while eating, marking her as a 'keeper.' Richard's happiness is limited by Gillian's cruelty and he ends the season with a spectacular act of badassery straight out of John Flynn's Rolling Thunder.
Gillian Darmody (Gretchen Mol) and Billie Kent (Meg Chambers Steedle)
Angela Darmody (Aleksa Palladino), the show's most unique and well-rounded female character, is dead, putting a huge burden on Margaret to deliver anything satisfying for the women of Boardwalk Empire. The season's only other two female leads, Gillian and newcomer Billie, function mostly as narrative devices, rather than actual people. They're really only brought to life via strong performances. Meg Chambers Steedle brings rich humanity to Billie, enough to trick us into thinking she'll become a major player in future seasons (spoiler: she won't, she's just a plot point), while Gretchen Mol at the very least seems to enjoy performing such a nihilistic person. One gets the feeling the writers have no idea what to do with her now that Jimmy and his father are out of the equation. She mostly mopes around the whorehouse for the first half of the season. Eventually, she develops an arc that revolves around gaining control of the house from Jimmy's estate (she has to find and kill a Jimmy double to have a body for insurance purposes – she sleeps with him for good measure) and Luciano's interests (more on him below). Then, she goes back to being the show's most detestable antagonist. The writers revel too much in finding needlessly cruel things for her to do and then, as a final insult, make her fail to kill Gyp, robbing her of any kind of climax. It's too bad Esther Randolph (Julianne Nicholson), a strong female character based on one of the era's few historically powerful women, doesn't make much more than a series of extended cameo appearances.
Chalky White (Michael Kenneth Williams)
Following a strong, if not segregated, presence in season two, Chalky is largely absent from season three. Like the non-Margaret female characters, it seems that the writers aren't quite sure how to make him an ongoing part of the story this season. Before finally finding him a place as Nucky's savior during the final three episodes (where, again, the season finally comes together), Chalky's only major contribution to the season is a brief arc where he expresses disapproval at his daughter's attempts at avoiding the high society lifestyle he fought to give her. There is a very potent sequence in episode two where she drags her fuddy-duddy medical student fiancé to a jazz club only to have his face is slashed open on the dance floor. Chalky appears to remedy the situation and effectively proves his point to her in the process. Unfortunately, this is never revisited and Chalky is left a largely tertiary character, despite Michael Kenneth Williams' best efforts.
Al Capone (Stephen Graham)
Al Capone, who will eventually grow into the most famous character in the cast (assuming the show goes long enough to turn into The Untouchables), is a consistent problem for the writers. Besides being based on a guy that was something of a real-life clown, Capone is also located several hundred miles away from the rest of the characters and, with Jimmy out of the picture, he isn't being visited all that often. His varied misadventures are perfectly entertaining (to the point I actually found myself rooting for the homicidal lug), but the show struggles to attach his antics to those of the other major characters until the season finale. He is, however, given the single coolest entrance in the series' short history when he's re-introduced at the very end of the penultimate episode.
Nelson Van Alden (Michael Shannon)
Pious, bible-quoting G-man turned disgraced murderer Nelson Van Alden (Michael Shannon) continues filling a slot as the show's born loser and comic relief. On the lam, he finds himself living in Chicago with his new family under the pseudonym 'George Mueller.' While selling electric irons door-to-door he stumbles into a conflict between Dean O'Banion (Arron Shiver) and Al Capone. It's not long before the faux Mr. Mueller finds himself working for O'Banion, running a still and acting as a heavy. The problem with Van Alden this season is less about his relocation away from most of the action (he's always been a supporting part of Nucky's A-story and I imagine that too much exposure might render the character less endearing) and more that he was the audience's only major connection to the law enforcement side of the Prohibition story. I miss the more balanced look at the 'righteous' side of this conflict.
Charlie Luciano (Vincent Piazza) and Meyer Lansky (Anatol Yusef)
If ever there were two characters that were impossible to completely separate, both on the show and in historical reality, it is Luciano and Lansky. Lansky never gets quite as much to do on the show, but season three features less Luciano than past seasons. The writers struggle to keep these two relevant to the larger season's plot, to the point that Luciano just sort of sporadically appears at Darmody's whorehouse to remind us he still has a stake in its ownership. The two characters are located close enough to Nucky's shenanigans, geographically speaking, that they also appear in some of the big gangland meeting scenes. Their oblique business practices serve little purpose to the greater plot and their story ends pretty unceremoniously (I suppose that they learn a pretty valuable lesson). The duo's main underling, Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel (Michael Zegen), on the other hand, actually has slightly more to do this time, possibly paving the way for a bigger place in future seasons. Of course, the writers run into a major problem with these guys (and Capone) is that we know them as historical figures that probably won't be killed or sent to jail anytime soon.
Eli Thompson (Shea Whigham)
Following the events of season two, Nucky's brother Eli is out of prison and finding himself in the awfully uncomfortable position of being back in the family business without any of the even nominal power he welded in the previous seasons. He's an incredibly somber character in season three, but also a surprisingly sympathetic one, which is something that can't be said for him previously.
I've been watching HBO shows on the HBO GO service now that it's available on my AppleTV. I always think the HD streaming image looks great…until I watch one of these Blu-rays and realize how noisy and blocky those streaming versions are. Once again, HBO is wasting no disc space and has spread the 12 episodes across five discs. The series continues to be shot on Super 35mm film, leading to another filmic, slightly grainy transfer. The biggest hindrance to a perfect image continues to be the show's inherent darkness (the directors acknowledge that season three is even darker than the first two seasons), which proves a problem for the included DVD versions – they can't handle the subtle contrast differentiations without compression noise and general fuzziness. In 1080p, the details are sharp enough to see the flecks of rotting paint on black background walls, even when the image is shrouded in moody darkness. That said, some of the smoother and more colourful walls feature minor, but noticeable macroblocking and banding effects – both are problems for many HD transfers when it comes to darker red, 35mm-shot hues. There are not, however, any noticeable issues with edge enhancement, even along the crisper edges. The warm, mostly brown colours are rich and strong without bleeding into the deeper black levels. That very specific red hue that permeates throughout the series (I like to call it Nucky-carnation red) continues to be the one constant source of vivid colour and remains a pleasantly poppy.
Boardwalk Empire comes fitted with another subtle, but full-bodied DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack. This time around the dialogue tracks are sometime awkwardly mixed in terms of overall aural consistency. It seems like more dialogue was added in ADR than last season and that some of these tracks were mixed at too high a volume (about 38:00 on episode five, for example). Outside of these minor deviations, the track is up to snuff. The surround channels regularly spring to life with crowd noise (including hedonistic party-goers and a mass of army vets cheering a fist-fight) and feature plenty of punchy, directionally-enhanced gunfire. The biggest aural moment of the whole season crops up at the very end of episode 8, The Pony, when Babette's explodes onto the street in super-slow motion and utterly engulfs every one of the five channels. The less aggressive effects work is even more impressive. Subtler ambient effects are realistic enough to trick me into thinking the sound was coming from my apartment ('Where the hell is that dog? Is it outside?'). The series use of almost exclusively period source music, instead of traditional score, also continues to impress in terms of dynamic stylistic deviations – sometimes the music comes full force through the front channels, while other times it leaks softly from a single channel, due to some kind of on-screen source, like a phonograph.
The extras begin with a Boardwalk Chronicle option for every episode. These include character biographies, location info, and 24 total 'newsreel' featurettes (which are also available separate from the episodes on disc five). This is followed by a series of cast & crew audio commentaries:
- Episode 1, Resolution, with creator/writer/executive producer Terence Winter, director/executive producer Tim Van Patten, and actors Steve Buscemi and Jack Huston.
- Episode 5, You'd Be Surprised, with executive producer/writer Howard Korder, and actors Michael Stuhlbarg, Bobby Cannavale, and Stephen DeRosa.
- Episode 7, Sunday Best, with Korder, director Allen Coulter, and actors Shea Whigham and Gretchen Mol.
- Episode 8, The Pony, with Winter and actors Michael Shannon, Charlie Cox, and Meg Chambers Steedle.
- Episode 11, Two Imposters, with Korder, Coulter, and actors Buscemi and Michael Kenneth Williams.
- Episode 12, Margate Sands, with Winter, Van Patten, and actors Cannavale and Chris Caldovino.
Besides a distillation of the previous season on disc one, the rest of the extras appear on disc five, beginning with American Empires, a text and image-based interactive look at the real-life Prohibition-era gangsters, divided into sub menus by state and location within the state. Up next is a series of 'newsreel' behind-the-scenes featurettes that briefly discuss the historical relevance of the peripheral story elements (1:05:00, HD). These are divided into 12 'episodes,' each with two subjects and featuring interviews with Winter and historians/researchers/authors Ed McGinty, Catherine Gourley, and Howard Korder. Boardwalk Empire: Director's Chair (30:00, HD) features series directors Tim Van Patten and Allen Coulter breaking down key sequences from the season, including narrative themes, stylistic motifs, and script/storyboard to film comparisons (including acknowledgement of the Taxi Driver homage). The extras come to an end with Scorsese on Season 3 (4:30, HD), featuring the executive producer/legendary director talking briefly about the season, and New Characters (5:00, HD), a look at Gyp Rosetti, Billie Kent, Gaston Means, Dean O'Banion, and Benny Siegel (who is not actually a new character…).
We're only three seasons in and it already feels like Boardwalk Empire is running dangerously low on creative fuel. The writers definitely pull things together for the final three or four episodes, enough to make me think they aren't down to fumes just yet, but the bulk of the year is largely an act in spinning wheels. It is also, as always, a beautifully-shot show and this Blu-ray collection looks and sounds wonderful. The extras are a little less substantial than I figured they'd be, based on the box art description, but are still full of historical information and charming stories from behind-the-scenes.

In my case Sopranos isn't a very good comparison because that show never quite did it for me. I'm hoping the end of the season was an indication of the kind of energy they'll be spending next season, because like I said in the review, this season felt like a pause. With Breaking Bad and Mad Men coming to an end I could really use another show to love.
I personally think this has been the best TV show EVER thus far. Sure, it's only 3 Seasons in, but it's done so many things that most shows fumble with. I never thought I would like a show more than the Sopranos, but I guess we are born to be surprised.
I feel like the shows is not even close to the "low on the creative fuel" yet. If anything they are close to full. Either way, an interesting method of reviewing the season.
